The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:42:06 at Manchester 2026 put Dan Williams 440th of 551 men in the Open division.
A station race more than a running one: 45% of the field beaten on the stations, against 16% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 2:20 on the median. The race faded late: the second half went 2:21 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
The field ran 1:07 slower at Manchester 2026 than at London Excel 2025, which makes this time better than it looks.
